Hazards good practice principles

Requirements 1 to 7 can be met by the application of either qualitative or quantitative hazard and risk analysis techniques as per part 5 of the Standard. The example to date has applied a quantitative analysis employing a number of techniques. In terms of qualitative assessment, an "unlikely failure but with "catastrophic outcome represents an extreme risk necessitating "necessary risk reduction and application of ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable), good practice and continuous risk reduction principles... 

The Finnish Occupational Safety Card System was developed to improve occupational safety in a shared workplace (Vayrynen et al. 2008). The card is an individual certificate which indicates that an employee has basic knowledge about the cooperation and general hazards of the shared workplace, knowledge about the key principles and good practices, and is prepared to adopt workplace and job-specific orientation. The idea for a company-specific certification arose in the early 2000s after the individual certificate had been implemented. In addition to tools which are used to evaluate the organizational performance levels of HSEQ performance of supplying companies, it was the other important factor when process industry companies started to develop a HSEQ AP as a joint venture. 

All other hazardous substances which have been assigned a WEL. Exposure to these substances by inhalation must be controlled adequately to ensure that the WEL is not exceeded. These substances were previously assigned an occupational exposure standard (OES) before 2005. For these substances, employers should achieve adequate control of exposure by inhalation by applying the principles of good practice outlined in the approved code of practice and listed below. 

The 2005 Amendment Regulations replace Regulation 7(7) and (8) by substituting new requirements to observe principles of good practice for the control of exposure to substances hazardous to health introduced... 

This book is not about the detailed requirements arising from international (or national, or industry) standards - although some standards and their requirements will be mentioned. Instead, this book seeks to present what good looks hke in the management of hazardous industries, together with examples of incidents and accidents where good practice has not been followed. The emphasis within this book will not be a cookbook description of how to follow major standards instead, the emphasis will be on the general principles that are behind the major standards.

To date, the Part II Programme has focused upon four major projects (1) The development and implementation of a set of Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP s) (2) Resolution of issues concerning Confidentiality of Data (3) Development of a Glossary of Key Terms and (4) Development of guidelines and other procedures for the exchange of information (e.g., re test data, the export of hazardous chemicals, and the labelling of hazardous chemicals). 

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 1988 is a comprehensive piece of legislation stemming from the above Act. It lays down a rational approach to the control of risks to health from potential exposure to chemicals in the workplace. The approach encapsulated by COSHH (and its supporting Codes of Practice) is based on the principles of good occupational hygiene practice and covers the following ... 

As with all laboratory work, protection of the worker against the hazard consists of good facility design, operation, and monitoring, as well as good work practices on the part of the worker. The ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) exposure principle is central to both levels of protection. The amount of radiation or radioactive material used should be minimized. Exposures should be minimized by shielding radiation sources and workers and visitors and by use of emergency alarm and evacuation procedures. Physical distance between personnel and radiation sources should be maximized, and whenever possible, robotic or other remote operations should be used to reduce exposure of personnel.
